Roadmap to Address Social Drivers of Health
THE LANDSCAPE
There is a shift happening in South Carolina. Based on findings from the 2019 landscape assessment, we have known that for communities to thrive, people need stable housing, healthy food, a steady income, and access to necessary resources such as medical and dental care. Too often, South Carolina residents encounter difficult challenges to meet even these basic needs.
THE NEED
Addressing these aspects that impact health (defined as the Social Drivers of Health or SDoH) in South Carolina requires the collective will of those such as community organizations, non-profits, medical professionals, public health professionals, payors, education, business, government, and more. We will only get there if we travel this road together.
